Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。

Pseudokephyrion alaskanumはアラスカや潜在的に他の北部地域の湖や湿地を含む淡水生息地で見られる花瓶状またはフラスコ状のロリカに包まれた黄藻類鞭毛藻である。光合成と食菌のどちらも可能な混合栄養生物である。この種は亜北極および亜寒帯の水生生態系の淡水プランクトン群集に貢献する。
